FHS Class of 2010 graduates
It was a standing room only crowd that cheered as 431 seniors filed across the field on the sunny and hot graduation day from Freeport High School.
Through tears and cheers, they accepted their diplomas and words of wisdom from Superintendent Dr. Kishore Kuncham, Principal Ernie Kight, Valedictorian Nathan Rodriguez, Salutatorian Samantha Hollinde, Assistant Principal Wendy Haise and class President Samone Clarke. “Be proactive, humble, committed and focus on your goals,” Dr. Kuncham advised. He told the graduates that “the most beautiful spot in the universe is within you. When you change the world inside you, you have already changed the outside world.” Ms. Hollinde declared, “It’s the dawn of a new day.” “High School has been a roller coaster ride – you want to get in line to take one more time,” lamented Ms. Clarke.
Trust and friendship was Mr. Rodriguez’ theme. “Dreams can come true, but it takes work,” advised Mr. Kight. The Class of 2010 earned $63,750 in scholarships and awards, had 65 National Honor Society members and will attend 76 different college and universities.
